1.0 CALL TO ORDER    6:00 PM                                              

2.0 DIRECTOR ROLL CALL

President Jack Rugar Present
Vice-President Betty Lauritsen Present
Treasurer Glen Grossman Present
Secretary Stephanie Lee Present
At-large Director Candy Pollock Present

Managing Agent Joseph Chaffers Present    

Members present: Rodger Axt, Lynn Bomberger, Marce Grossman, Wolfgang Haas, and Ken Morley

3.0   AGENDA REVIEW / RESIDENT REQUESTS – 1) Marce Grossman reported her replacement plant still hadn’t been replaced. 2) Glen Grossman recommended the crack in Unit 44’s concrete be repaired. (No action possible at this time since the crack is too small. The consensus was that it is not probable that anyone could trip on it, but if it were repaired, there would be more of a bump.) Rodger Axt will advise Mrs. Leaman. 3) Axt reported that the French doors on Unit 72 had been painted. The glass will be scraped on Thursday (5/18).

4.0   APPROVAL OF MINUTES – Motion by Betty Lauritsen, seconded by Glen Grossman, to accept minutes from 04/18/06. Motion carried.

5.0   REPORTS

5.01 FINANCIAL REPORTS – Joseph Chaffers reviewed the financial statement. He pointed out that the Reserve account had been paid back (and then some), with a little over $9200 in a separate Reserve Account to pay for insurance.

5.02 NEW RESIDENT INFORMATION REPORT – Director Lauritsen and Lynn Bomburger reported they had welcomed new residents in Unit 72 (Munoz). Bomburger gave the board an updated Resident Directory and reported she had emailed one to Management Cost Controls. She noted that President Rugar’s email address needed to be changed.

5.03 WEBSITE REPORT – Director Grossman reported that the domain name expires in June. President Rugar requested again that he bring renewal prices to the board so that we can vote on renewal. Since it needs to be handled prior to our next meeting, it will be done by email. Ken Morley requested that Director Grossman review his prior emails regarding color on some pages of the site.

5.04 GARDENING REPORT – Director Pollock reported that the gardeners continued to work on some irrigation issues. She needs to confirm what kind of plant needs to be put by the Grossman’s unit. The weed tending behind Unit 1 should be completed soon. Some of the trees by Unit 10 are dead so will be removed. Susan will be crediting us for 5/2 since the gardeners didn’t work. They will be planting a plant to the right of the Cavas door (Unit 102) since there is a hole there. Director Pollock will check with Susan to see if they anticipate a price increase for the coming year.

5.05 MAINTENANCE REPORT

President Rugar reported that one of the streetlights had its top removed. No one seems to know how it happened, but the gardeners will put it back.

Axt reported that the lake will be "blued" Wednesday.

Residents Bomberger and Grossman commented that the silt and scum by the dam is unsightly. Axt will research how to remove it.

5.06 LAKE REPORT – See maintenance report.

5.07 WILDLIFE CONTROL REPORT – President Rugar had no report, but Director Pollock reported that the carpenter bees in front of her unit had been powdered and were gone.

5.08 ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL REPORT – Ken Morley reported there was a request by Resident Bomberger to replace three windows. The committee approved the request.

5.09 NEWSLETTER ITEMS – Director Pollock will be making a couple of additions to the next issue, and then it will be sent out.

5.10 RULE COMPLIANCE REPORT – Chaffers was asked to send Unit 67 a letter, or email, letting them know that their dog must be on a leash. President Rugar will put a note on Unit 74’s new truck advising them of the parking regulations.

6.0 UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

6.01 Revising CC&Rs and Bylaws – Director Grossman had sent revisions to board members, but because there wasn’t enough time to review them prior to the meeting, members didn’t feel they could vote for approval. The board did make recommendations for revision to the letter to HOA members transmitting them. He advised the Board that the Bylaws must be approved by July 1 or be subject to the new laws.

6.02 Fence across from Units 90-94 – President Rugar will get Rodger Axt a quote for replacing the damaged fence so that Axt can present it to the property owner and request reimbursement. The board discussed filing a claim with small claims court for that amount. Axt will look into it.

6.03 French Doors – See 3.0, above. President Rugar will get Axt a copy of the report from the termite inspector about what repairs are needed to French doors around the complex. Axt will obtain a quote for repair and present it to the board for approval. Morley reminded the board that some of the single story units still required patching and painting.

6.04 Insurance – Director Grossman and Chaffers reviewed the quotes we received. Motion by Glen Grossman, seconded by Betty Lauritsen, to obtain $5M in coverage for the Umbrella policy at $2,717. Motion carried. Motion by Stephanie Lee, seconded by Glen Grossman, to pay the earthquake insurance premium ($11,280) in full, rather than finance it over a year (at a cost of around $400). Motion carried. Chaffers reported the General Liability policy had rolled over and the Directors and Officers policy had been paid.

7.0 NEW BUSINESS –

7.01 Budget Committee – Director Grossman requested a committee to help prepare next year’s budget. Axt volunteered and suggested that Connie Shelstad and Jim Ray be asked to serve. Motion by Jack Rugar, seconded by Candy Pollock, that the committee be authorized to spend $250 for advice from a CPA (Rick Bussman) if they feel it necessary to complete the project. Motion carried.

7.02 Echo – President Rugar reported six people would be attending. Director Pollock suggested that we thank Jim Ray for making business cards for board members.

7.03 Garage Sale – Resident Marce Grossman volunteered to assist Director Pollock. It was set for June 17.

7.04 July 4th Picnic – Director Lee and Resident Pat Bradley will chair.

7.05 Wrought Iron Fences – Director Pollock reported she had only one other person interested in purchasing fencing, but thinks there might be three others.

7.06 Meeting Space Cost – Director Pollock questioned the need to spend $50 per month for meeting space. It was the consensus of the board that it is money well spent.

8.0 CORRESPONDENCE – None.

9.0 FUTURE BOARD MEETING / ADJOURNMENT – 06/20/06 at 6:00 p.m. at the Forest Grove HOA Clubhouse, Forest Lodge Road, Pacific Grove, CA.

The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
